🚀 Uniswap Founder Criticizes Mislabeling of Centralized Projects as DeFi

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has expressed concerns on the X platform about centralized projects being mislabeled as decentralized finance (DeFi). According to Odaily, Adams emphasized the importance of distinguishing between centralized finance (CeFi) and DeFi, stating that if an admin key can drain all funds, the project should be classified as CeFi. He warned that failing to make this distinction could render DeFi meaningless and damage its brand. Adams highlighted that no version of Uniswap contains an admin key capable of emptying funds.

🚀 Drift Protocol Suffers Unauthorized Access in Complex Attack

Drift Protocol has reported an unauthorized access incident involving a sophisticated attack using a durable nonce, according to ChainCatcher. The attacker gained control over the Drift Security Council's management by exploiting pre-signed transactions with durable nonce accounts to delay execution. The investigation indicates that the incident was not due to vulnerabilities in Drift's program or smart contracts, and there is no evidence of mnemonic phrase theft. The attacker obtained access through unauthorized or forged transaction approvals, potentially involving social engineering.

As a result, approximately $280 million was extracted from the protocol, affecting all lending, vault deposits, and trading funds. However, DSOL assets not deposited in Drift, including those staked to Drift validators, and insurance fund assets remain unaffected and are being protected. As a precautionary measure, all remaining protocol functions have been frozen, and the multisig has been updated to remove compromised wallets.

🚀 Axios Library Compromised by Malicious Attack

An attacker has compromised the npm access token of the lead maintainer of Axios, a popular JavaScript HTTP client library, and used it to release two malicious versions containing cross-platform remote access trojans (RATs). According to ChainCatcher, these versions, axios@1.14.1 and axios@0.3.4, targeted macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. The malicious packages were removed from the npm registry approximately three hours after their release.

Data from security company Wiz indicates that Axios is downloaded over 100 million times weekly and is present in about 80% of cloud and code environments. Security firm Huntress detected the first infections just 89 seconds after the malicious packages went live and confirmed that at least 135 systems were compromised during the exposure period. Notably, the Axios project had implemented modern security measures such as the OIDC trusted publishing mechanism and SLSA provenance proofs. However, the attacker bypassed these defenses entirely.

The investigation revealed that while configuring OIDC, the project retained the traditional long-lived NPM_TOKEN. When both tokens coexist, npm defaults to using the traditional token, allowing the attacker to publish without breaching OIDC.

🚀 Strait of Hormuz Shipping Conditions May Impact Bitcoin Traders

Bitcoin traders might need to pay attention to the shipping conditions in the Strait of Hormuz rather than focusing solely on U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about Iran. According to NS3.AI, the Strait of Hormuz is a crucial passage, handling approximately 20% of the global seaborne oil trade. A strategic release of 426 million barrels has been mitigating the supply gap. However, S&P Global Market Intelligence reports that only 21 tankers have crossed the Strait since the onset of the conflict, compared to over 100 ships daily prior to the war.

🚀 Vitalik Buterin Proposes Localized AI Deployment Strategy for Enhanced Privacy and Security

Vitalik Buterin has outlined a strategy for deploying localized and private large language models (LLMs) by April 2026. According to Odaily, the plan emphasizes privacy, security, and autonomy, aiming to minimize the exposure of personal data to remote models and external services.

In terms of hardware, Buterin tested various configurations, including a laptop with an NVIDIA 5090 GPU, an AMD Ryzen AI Max Pro device with 128 GB unified memory, and DGX Spark setups. He utilized Qwen3.5 35B and 122B models for local inference, achieving approximately 90 tokens per second with the 5090 laptop, around 51 tokens per second with the AMD setup, and about 60 tokens per second with DGX Spark. Buterin expressed a preference for building local AI environments based on high-performance laptops, using tools like llama-server, llama-swap, and NixOS to establish the overall workflow.
